We´ve met guitarist Antti Leiviskä in the centre of Helsinki and in a comfortable place, he offered us some detailed informations and future plans about AFIRE:

“Harri and Tarmo formed the band in 2016. Shortly afterwards Sami Kukkohovi and me joined, before Suvi Hiltunen finally completes the line – up. We were working very intensive on our material and it took a bit of time until the first songs were ready, because we wanted to do something different instead of this heavy stuff that we´ve done before in Poisonblack. We´ve released our self titled debut EP on June 26th and now we pretty excited about the fan reactions, what belongs to our EP.”

About the song writing process, Antti states: “The variety of the songs is a result of so many influences from each of us and our main intention is to reach as many people as we can.”

Antti: “We can´t wait to enter the stages as soon as possible. The rehearsals are a little bit difficult to arrange, because I´m living here in Helsinki, but I try to go to Oulu as often as I can and until now this worked without any problems.”

AFIRE is really worth to be checked out and we will hear a lot from the band in the near future. Thumbs up !!!!
